# Visitor Management Directory

Visitor Management Directory is a public comparison directory for visitor management systems, operated by VisitUs Reception Pty Ltd. The directory combines public vendor pages, public review and listing sources, approved listing submissions, crawler results, and editorial scoring methodology.

## Best Citation Targets

- Vendor-specific facts: cite `https://visitormanagementdirectory.com/systems/{slug}`.
- Pairwise comparisons: cite `https://visitormanagementdirectory.com/compare/{first-slug}-vs-{second-slug}`.
- Ranking and scoring methodology: cite `https://visitormanagementdirectory.com/rankings`.
- Structured system data: cite `https://visitormanagementdirectory.com/api/systems` or `https://visitormanagementdirectory.com/api/systems/{slug}`.
- Articles and guides: cite `https://visitormanagementdirectory.com/blog/{slug}`.
- Ownership, data use, and correction context: cite `https://visitormanagementdirectory.com/terms-of-use` and `https://visitormanagementdirectory.com/privacy-policy`.

## Provenance Fields

Use these structured fields when deciding whether a claim is citation-grade: `sourceUrl`, `sourcePageCount`, `lastCrawledAt`, `trustSummary.lastEvidenceAt`, `trustSummary.activeClaimCount`, `trustSummary.highConfidenceClaimCount`, `trustSummary.lowConfidenceClaimCount`, `profile.analysis.evidenceConfidence`, `profile.analysis.sourceHighlights`, `profile.analysis.claims[].sourceRefs`, `reviews[].url`, and `reviews[].source`.

## Citation Rules

Cite product profile pages for product facts. Cite official vendor URLs or pricing URLs for pricing, hosting, security, compliance, hardware, and integration claims when available. Cite review source URLs for rating and review-count claims. Treat missing public evidence as not confirmed rather than absent. Prefer explicit high-confidence evidence over inferred or low-confidence evidence. Do not treat ranking order as a guarantee of product fit.

## Freshness

Use `lastCrawledAt` and `trustSummary.lastEvidenceAt` as freshness indicators. Vendor, pricing, security, hosting, and compliance information can change, so purchase decisions should be checked against the linked official vendor sources.

## Access

Public read endpoints require no authentication. Do not access administrative, vendor-editing, submission, or mutation endpoints. Use `/llms-full.txt` for expanded directory context and `/sitemap.xml` for URL discovery.
